General & Others Why the fandom lacks interest in Chopper so much?

[PeperLevi]

Add me. I’ve always loved Chopper. Drum Island is one of my favorite arcs too.

You're added. We're waiting your content there.

You two wanna join Chopper's fanclub? Is the best place for share enjoyement by Chopper in all internet and the leader is none other than me.

Sure, been his fan since he was introduced, aint never gone back. :cheers:

 

[Dark Hound]

Yeah it’s sad that oda doesn’t focus enough on all strwhats but anyways

I think the fanbase care enough about Chopper. He’s just liked because he’s cute otherwise he’s a boring pet

 

[Jackteo]

He lost his role in the crew with the appearance of Law in PH. He couldn't even help Luffy who was about to die for that poisonous fish...
Hopefully he'll find a cure for those poor Ebisu souls and Killer

Bcoz Chopper is reduced to irrelevant Mascot after Timeskip

He used to be cool. Blame Oda

It started pre skip already. Just compare his not so cute design from Drum to late pre skip.

Same as cute short haired and normal chested Nami has grown much

As a chopper fan, I've been in shambles for years...

You are finally at home :)

 

[Jack]

You are finally at home :)

I have a feeling, Oda will continue this til eos.

 

[ShadyOjiro]

Doesn't Chopper rank well in the Eastern community?


Anyways ..a main reason is Oda not handling well Choppers dream.

Chopper is like 89% cuteness/ gag material and 11% doctor for Oda I think.

This is ultimately sad cuz our reindeer friend is supposed to find " the cure for everything".

If Chopper came back looking like this

Instead of the teddy bear he is now then I would like him. But he is reduced to being a mascot and is for cute service. Hes useless and not needed. Sanji needs to cook him asap.

Probably because Chopper doesnt get those epic 1 vs 1 fights.
As well when Chopper gained control of his monster point, it lack that monsterours touch way back in Ennies lobby.

Also miss opportunities when Kaido nor X drake showed any interest in Choppers rumble ball. Because It's a huge breakaway on how to achieve higher mastery of zoan dfs but hopefully Vegepunk can be that person down the road.

Did they ever see him shifting forms? It will probably be highlighted in his 1vs1 fight.

Agree. Watching Chopper's MP back in EL without control, in anime, gave me goosebumps.
Hopefully, it returns again when he goes past the 3 min limit.

 

[Lion of Olympus]

Blame Oda. I was so sure he would awaken Haki or do something relevant in WCI but all he did was get neg diffed by some trees lol

 

[Jack]

Hopefully he gains full control of monster point and learns armament at least.

 

[Finalbeta]

Yes to both. Am certain of the second nevertheless xdxd

Simply put, Oda's fault. All characters have a certain purpose. Chopper's medically based. Only natural people will view him more from a medical stand-point than a combat-based stand-point. If people aren't interested in medicine or such areas or even his story line, they're likely not going to be interested in him.

It's no different to Nami, no one views her as a combat orientated character, but a character who is based on navigation and meteorology. Chopper's story and ambition is medical.

End of the day, people appeal more to combat, Chopper's simply not combat orientated.

You can't criticise people for not wanting to talk about a character they don't like or a character they're not interested in. Just because you like Chopper doesn't mean others should like Chopper. We're all individuals and that means we like different things. It just so happens you're a minority and that's just the way it is.

If Oda makes Chopper more interesting, then they'll talk more about him, until then, there's really nothing wrong about him not being discussed much. It's simply a matter of preference and what appeals to people; I can't tell you what to like and neither should you try to tell people what they should like.

There's nothing to try to understand about why people don't talk about Chopper. The reason is simple, they just don't find him interesting. No different to loving Opera music or Classical, there's nothing to understand about people who don't find Opera music or Classical appealing, it's simply down to their taste and preference. Even more relatable, you like One Piece and there are people who don't like One Piece or Anime or Manga, why? They simply don't, it's not to their taste.

You're hammering in one of the wrong thoughts disseminated in generic discussions about Chopper: "Chopper isn't about power".
But it's totally wrong.
When Hiluluk welcomed Chopper,Chopper was seeking for his place in world. And Hiluluk said he should became a pirate,because that's the life style where anyone can be whatever want.
So,if Chopper would became a pirate,he should constantly became more powerful.
And he in fact trained before join Straw Hats: In his first fight,against Wapol's two henchmen,he said openly that since Hiluluk's death,he used medicine to discover his Devil Fruit's power,create techniques,name them and improve all of it even more.
Chopper is popular since the beginning. After join Straw Hats,he got the fourth place in One Piece's official character popularity polls three times consecutive. Oda will bring back the multi-sided Chopper in Onigashima War.
